Diary of a Broken Soul

Thoughts on the Diary of a Broken Soul by artist, Ash Abdullah

Originally created for shadow work, the images in this deck were created to read vertically (in progressive relations to the stages within its suit) as well as horizontally (pip in its respective suit reflect the Cognitive, Behavioural, Emotional and Physical aspects of its numerically associated Trump card).

However, as the creation process progressed, I realised that I wanted this collection of images to reach out not only to tarot readers but to anyone open to appreciating the images as well as the messages contained within The Diary. Thus, the deck that started of as a tarot creation evolved into something else.
